Gold Market Update

After a 24-month trend where gold prices climbed steadily higher the market had a large selloff related to euphoria around a possible Covid vaccine. The selloff corrected what technical analysts call an “overbought” situation.

While headlines last Friday said “Gold has its best week since July”, headlines today show “Gold slumps 4% on Covid vaccine hopes”. The potential for an effective Pfizer vaccine encouraged investors to increase their exposure to stocks.

“If you think that you’re living in the best of all worlds, then you may feel you do not need as much gold,” said Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann.

“However, this assessment seems to be premature. And we’ve often seen in the past that at prices below $1,900, buying interest will come into the market – we would expect that to happen again this time.”

In the West lower prices tend to see investors pause buying or selling gold, while in the East investors take advantage of lower prices to buy larger amounts.
